Strong Words Spoken Slurredly

[f4f3]

While looking for a definition of "Nippy Sweety" as used to describe a lovely woman who could surprise you with her tartness (that's tartness, not tartiness or tartarness) just as a boiled sweet can make your mouth pucker, I came across this page of Scottish words from the BBC:

It doesn't have clabber, or even stoor, but I liked it anyway.

My understanding of "nippy sweetie" was that the woman (and I didn't think it had to be a woman) didn't actually have to be all that lovely.

Well the women I was calling it certainly is :-)

Aw shucks...

That's a nice site, and I didn't know at least 20% of those. Am also amused by the fact that J's term for me is Scottish. :)

Now what would that be? Wifey or Bidey In?

[rparvaaz.livejournal.com]

Wifey. :)

Also used by my Texan friend of his Scottish wife.

Aw they missed blethered! Glasgoweigian and Weegee? That's an original way of spelling them...:P

I hate weegee. Nearest I've ever come to a fight in a pub was over that.... (Well, actually it was a bit more complicated than that, but, well, he was a bit of a pain...)
